Job Description

UX UI Engineer

 

- 6 month initial contract

- Active Baseline Clearance required

 

Shape the digital experience for a high-impact federal government platform — fully remote, 6-month contract. If you're a UX/UI Engineer who thrives in agile delivery environments and cares deeply about human-centred design, this one's worth a look.

 

THE ROLE

Our client, a federal government tribunal, is midway through a major digital transformation — replacing legacy systems with a new case management solution built on D365 Customer Service, alongside a brand-new user portal currently in early build phase. They need an experienced UX/UI Engineer to lead design across both workstreams, working within a multidisciplinary agile team to deliver accessible, user-centred experiences at scale. This is a fully remote, 6-month contract role.

 

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

  • Build and maintain reusable front-end components and design patterns for consistency across the platform
  • Combine user-centred design with hands-on front-end engineering (building) skills as required
  • Lead the end-to-end UI/UX design process within an agile delivery framework
  • Translate user research and data insights into wireframes, prototypes, user journeys and process maps
  • Champion accessibility standards including WCAG compliance throughout the design and build process
  • Establish and promote design guidelines, best practices and standards across the program
  • Collaborate closely with Product Owners, SMEs, developers and business users to co-design solutions
  • Plan and facilitate user research, usability testing and discovery activities
  • Coach and mentor junior UX/UI designers to uplift design maturity across the team

 

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

  • Minimum 3 years' commercial experience as a UX/UI Designer with a strong portfolio across research, interaction design and interface design
  • Proven experience leading UX/UI design in complex digital, enterprise or government environments
  • Proven experience in front end development
  • Proven ability to code
  • Deep knowledge of Human-Centred Design methodology and iterative design practices
  • Hands-on experience with Figma and/or Adobe XD
  • Solid understanding of responsive design principles and multi-device ensuring responsive, accessible and intuitive user interfaces.
  • Experience working within agile software delivery teams
  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to present and advocate for design decisions at all levels
  • Demonstrated ability to synthesise research data into clear, actionable insights
